Elisabeth Robson

Elisabeth is passionate about creating learning experiences for people. She is the co-author of Head First Design Patterns, Head First HTML and CSS, and Head First HTML5 Programming, and is at work on a fourth, Head First JavaScript Programming. Her books have been translated into eight languages, and are read by technology learners around the globe. Another passion is the Web: she is a constant student of the technologies behind it and the fascinating social transformations that it has enabled.

She first started creating Web sites in graduate school, while earning her Master of Science in Computer Science, and has been learning about and teaching internet technologies ever since.

When she’s not writing or programming, you can usually find her cooking healthy, vegetarian food, hiking and taking photographs in the mountains, kayaking in Puget Sound, or riding her bike around the island where she lives in the Pacific Northwest.
